The Jams 'going underground' from 1980
I have tabbed the riff used in the into and at the start of each verse, you can just play a D chord
but it doesn't sound at all 'right'.The rest should be pretty accurate but, as usual, any comments
are more than welcome
Inrto riff B - ----------------3-2-0
G - 2-2---2-2---4--------
D - 0-0---0-0---0--------
INTRO: D (or riff)
DSome people might say my life is in a rut, but I'm quite happy with what I got
DPeople might say that I should strive for more but I'm so happy I can't see the point
BSomethings happening D#mhere today, a Bshow of strength with your D#mboys brigade
And BI'm so happy and you'reD#m so kind, you Bwant more money, of courseD#m I don't mind
To Ebuy nuclear textbooks for F#atomic crimes and the Bpublic gets what the D#mpublic wants
But EI want nothing this soF#cietys got, I'm going Bunderground, going D#munderground
Well let Ethe brass bands play and feet F#start to pound, going Bunderground, going D#munderground
Well let the Eboys all sing and the F#boys all shout for toBmorrow D#m E F#
DSome people might get some pleasure out of hate, me, I've enough already on my plate
DPeople might need some tension to relax, me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak
BWhat you see is what D#myou get, you Bmade your bed, you better D#mlie in it
You Bchoose your leaders and place D#myour trust as their Blies wash you down and their D#mpromises rust
You'll see Ekidney machines replaced by F#rockets and guns and the Bpublic wants what the D#mpublic gets
But EI don't care what this F#society wants, I'm going Bunderground, going D#munderground
Well Ethe brass band play and feet F#start to pound, going Bunderground, going D#munderground
So let the Eboys all sing and let the F#boys all shout for toC#mmorrow, Bla la la la,C#m Bla la la la
